A tribute to Lifetime Member Professor John Y.H. Chau.

RCIScience is saddened by the loss of one of our most devoted supporters, Dr. Deborah Zamble. Deborah served on the Royal Canadian Institute’s Council and then Board for many years, starting in 2006.

RCIScience was sad to learn of the passing of Peter Calamai, 2007 Fleming Medal winner. Peter was recognized with this award for his contributions to public understanding of science in Canada as the National science writer for the Toronto Star.

Penny Park, 2014 Fleming Medal Winner passes away. We remember Penny as a friend and adviser to the RCIScience Program Committee. She made vital contributions to science journalism in Canada. In her words, “Media abhors a vacuum, and when experts are not readily available, that vacuum can be filled with unreliable information.” She tried to fill that vacuum through all of her work, but especially with the Science Media Centre of Canada.
